It’s a well-known fact that anti-ferromagnetic materials are called that way because they cannot be magnetized, not even in the presence of a very strong external magnetic field. The randomized spin ...

Two recent innovative projects that are being enabled by lasers. How lasers make it possible to assess the very subtle magnetism of “non-magnetic” metals. The use of lasers to quantify ...
